Battlefield V is playable on quad-cores but you can expect frequent frame dips, resulting in less consistent frame rates. For the most part, we've found that the older Core i5-7600K has been hanging in there pretty well with AAA titles released in...

Although it's essentially a 7700K with two additional cores and some extra L3 cache, Intel's Coffee Lake-based Core i7-8700K proved to be enough of an advancement over its Kaby Lake predecessor for us to crown it the new gaming king a few days...

There are two important factors when it comes to Intel's Core i3-8350K: Firstly, it is unlocked, and secondly. It's good that you can overclock it, but that's unquestionably a lot of money for a chip that most of us would perceive as being a budget...

The Core i3-8350K offers leading performance in games and competitive performance in a wide range of applications. The unlocked multiplier facilitates a high overclocking ceiling, but you'll need a Z-Series motherboard to crank the clocks. The Core i3 is a solid chip, but its priced too close for comfort to the Core i5-8400, which is a better value for most users.

The Intel Core i3-8350K: Why does it exist?At this price point with no lower cost(Intel B and H series) overclocking enabled chipset, it does not make sense. Still, Intel rolled out with it. If you're stepping ahead of the Core i3-8350K- a four-core...

The most recent Intel CPUs have massively increased the number of cores and threads available to them. It wasn't that long ago that the majority of i5 and i7 processors were quad cores, whilst the i3 made do with two. The i7s had hyperthreading to help...

The R3 2200G offers highly competitive performance at its price and, ultimately, really has no immediate competition. At $100, the CPU offers 78-85% of the performance of the R5 2400G at 58% of the price. Not bad at all. We can strongly recommend the R3...

Dramatic changes to the Core line-up are a boon to PC enthusiasts, and there is little to complain about in the performance department. Intel's Core i3-8350K gives us twice as many cores at a supposedly comparable price point versus...
